Have you considered changing your medication?

My psychiatrist discharged me from psychiatric care as I am stable. He said my family Dr will keep renewing my prescription.

Don’t come off of your meds @Aziz
Even if it’s temporary.

It could do a lot of damage.

Dont take a risk buddy, its not worth it. I went to 2mg risperidone and I relapsed and lost almost everything I had. Being less smart is better than being full blown psychotic with a delusion thinking that you are reincarnated einstein

@Aziz I think you’re intelligent enough to know that what you’re thinking of doing is not a good idea.

My pdr said there is no meds for negative symptoms and that all they can do is encourage me. Its useless like giving a fake cure to a cancer patient.

i wouldn’t stop your meds, if you say you use lower dosage of your meds then you already get paranoid then stopping completely sounds not wise huh.

Now you know the risk, isn’t it worth a try? If you notice addiction, hypersexuality, then stop. People mature when they get old.

No it doesnt work like that, once you’re on Abilify for a day it hard to stop it. It was very hard to stop Abilify, my brothers had to beat me hard and choking me, I lost consciousness. I am not trying it again. I took 2mg once and soon after I felt hypersexual, just wanting to watch porn and play with myself all day. I had testicular physical pain.

Abilify is like heroin for me.

Sorry to hear that. Then it’s no option, off course.
